   + `test_persistent_tasks` tests whether "your" package can safely be used as a dependency for downstream packages.
     This test is disabled for the default testsuite, but you can opt-in by supplying `persistent_tasks=true` to `test_all`.
   + `find_persistent_tasks_deps` is useful if "your" package hangs upon precompilation: it runs `test_persistent_tasks` on all the things you depend on, and may help isolate the culprit(s).
 
+### Changed

+- The docstring for `test_stale_deps` explains the situation with package extensions. ([#203](https://github.com/JuliaTesting/Aqua.jl/pull/203))

     Currently, `Aqua.test_stale_deps` does not detect stale
     dependencies when they are stdlib.  This is considered a bug and
